Notes:
Before the invention or color film, photographs were often hand—tinted. This was done to make images look more realistic or solely for artistic purposes. Watercolors were a popular choice, while oil paints were used in more professional studios, pastels and crayons were another option. Hand—tinting was most popular between 1900 and 1940.
